The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 89 Dragon Inn
At this time, the two of them were exhausted physically and mentally, and urgently needed a rest.

Guan Yuan also thought about why the Longmen Inn appeared in the Hetao area instead of outside Zhangbeikou.

After the two crossed the Yellow River just now, they sank the only ferry boat. Guessing that the lama behind did not catch up so quickly, they decided to go to the inn to treat their injuries first.

It is said to be an inn, but it is actually just a two-story earthen building, which appears alone on the edge of the desert, at the junction of the two countries.Both Shen Lian and Guan Yuan knew that this place must not be an easy place to get along with.

Shen Lian tied the horse to the stake at the door, and pushed the door open with Guan Yuan.

After opening the curtain, you can see the small main room.

"Hey, there's another distinguished guest. Please sit down, guest officer." The waiter who ran over looked very clever.

The two of Guan Yuan were taken to a wooden table in the corner of the hall. This inn is indeed simple, there are four-legged tables, and no two legs are evenly aligned.

Xiaoer habitually brought up half a brick to pad the corner of the table, and said, "You two guests, where did you come from, and what do you eat?"

"A pot of clear water, four steamed buns." Shen Lian replied, this place is not a good place, so be careful.

Guan Yuan was still looking at the lobby of the inn, he wanted to see if it was the Longmen Inn in his impression.The Xiaoer next to him didn't seem to have any martial arts skills, and he was just an ordinary person in every gesture.

In addition to the two of them, there were two groups of people sitting in the lobby of the inn.

The most conspicuous ones were a few soldiers. They wore the clothes of the Ming Frontier Army, with their chests exposed, drinking and fisting on the table in the center.All the weapons he carried were thrown aside.

In the corner on the west side, there are two merchants sitting around, who should be Shanxi merchants walking west.It is said that they are traders, but they are all armed with weapons. After all, they are away from home, so they have to frighten Xiaoxiao.

The vendors should have a lot of money in their hands, and they ordered a lot of food.But they didn't talk much, just bowed their heads to eat.It should be after rest, but also to continue on the road.

Guan Yuan gestured with his eyes, and reminded Shen Lian that even though the border soldiers were still eating wine and meat, they were obviously eyeing the traders, and they kept looking at their waists.

I'm afraid it's not that this group of traders missed out on their wealth and was targeted by this group of soldiers.

At the moment, the vendors are eating about the same, so they called Xiao Er,

"There is a guest room here. I will rest for a day and leave tomorrow morning."

"Yes, there are. This restaurant has everything you need to eat, drink, and stay. On the second floor, there are four guest rooms in Tian Di Xuan Huang. There are already guests living in the Huang Zi Room. Which one do the two guest officials plan to live in?" "

"Let's live in the Dizi Room."

Xiao Er led two vendors upstairs, they didn't have any goods, either they were going to buy, or they were sold out, and they were exchanged for coins.Anyway, I have a lot of money with me.

After the merchants left, a man in the frontier army beckoned and pulled the rest of them to whisper.

After a while, they stopped drinking and didn't pay the bill. They opened the door and left amidst Xiaoer's laughter.This group of frontier soldiers rode on their horses and disappeared in a short while.

Guan Yuan and the two were eating steamed buns with clear water, and it seemed that the shopkeeper of the Longmen Inn had just bought them.

"You are boring, those gangsters don't give money to the army, why do you serve him good wine, why don't you add some water! They drink too much horse urine, how can they tell the difference."

The shopkeeper scolded the waiter while pushing the door open.

Guan Yuan was curious, the shopkeeper didn't seem to be a charming and pungent gold inlaid jade, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man.

When he was feeling sorry, he saw a greasy man with a scruffy beard, who described it as wretched, walked in. He was the proprietor of the Longmen Inn.

"Brother, don't get me wrong, our old grandson has always been honest, but these frontier soldiers are too deceitful, and they owe me hundreds of taels of wine money and haven't paid them."

The shopkeeper of the horse didn't expect there were customers in the store, so he came to explain.

"It's easy to say, didn't ask for advice?"

"My surname is Sun, and my name is Youfu, Sun Youfu."

"Good name, good luck." Guan Yuan also bowed his hands.

"I also ask the shopkeeper to prepare a guest room for my brothers, so we can rest for a few days."

"Naturally, you should rest and rest. The Yellow River flood is approaching recently, and the road out of the desert is not easy." The shopkeeper Sun is very experienced, "If you and the guest officer don't dislike it, you can live in the Xuanzi room. The Huangzi next door The guests are very quiet and will not disturb the rest of the two."

After finishing their meal, Guan Yuan and the others went back to their room.The inside was not big, but it was still clean. Guan Yuan gave up the bed to Shen Lian, who had been shot in the back, and sat cross-legged beside him, starting to heal his injuries.

Thanks to the imprint of the moonlight, I have been running around day and night for the past few days. If it weren't for the moonlight to nourish my meridians, I would have been unable to hold on.

He started his innate skills, moved Zhou Tian, ​​endured the soreness in his dantian, and began to slowly repair the damaged meridians.

It wasn't until late at night that Guan Yuan finally stopped and stood up, and his injuries were relieved, but he was not suitable for fighting with others for the time being, and he had to rest for more than a month before he could fully recover.

It was already midnight at this time, Shen Lian was seriously injured and weak, and had already fallen asleep. Guan Yuan looked at the moon and stars, and couldn't help feeling a little pity for his Qiushui sword. Without this handy weapon, he was really not used to it.

Guan Yuan couldn't sleep anyway, so he began to think about his current situation.

They were in the Hetao, not far from the Daming border, and the border troops they saw today reflected that.In case of an emergency, you can reveal Shen Lian's Jinyiwei identity at any time and find the frontier army for protection.

It's just that this group of frontier soldiers didn't look like good people, and they wanted to seek money from passing traders.

It's really sky-high and the emperor is far away, so bold.

Among the lamas chasing them, Sangbu, who was regarded as a master, was also seriously injured.As long as Guan Yuan and the others don't fall into the chaos again, they shouldn't be a threat.

He intends to recuperate in peace of mind here and wait until he has at least the power to protect himself before leaving.

This time he followed Shen Lian to the desert to rescue Ma Debiao, but he was not rescued, he was seriously injured, and lost his sword, which was really a big loss.

He opened the window, and the people in the yellow and ground rooms on the left and right had already fallen asleep, and the entire inn was extremely quiet except for the crackling of the fireplace and bonfire.

On the second day, the merchants in Dizijian were about to leave, but they were persuaded by shopkeeper Sun,

"When I came back yesterday, the upper reaches of the Yellow River had already drifted down. At this moment, it is estimated that there is no ferry to cross the river. Two guest officers, if you want to cross the river to the north, it is best to wait for a few days until the ice flood passes, and then do it." Intend."

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and started discussing in low voices.

Seeing that they couldn't leave, the two went back to the inn and drank tea in the lobby to rest.

Guan Yuan and Shen Lian had just finished breakfast at this time and were about to go back to their room, but found that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper Sun.

The shopkeeper Sun was under the counter, and waved slightly to the waiter, and then saw the waiter, turned around and left the lobby without leaving a trace, and he didn't know where he went.
